Oh, and for the record, I have Jewish blood. So *poof* goes your anti-Semitism artument.

No, but apparently I do.

You were happy to have this conversation until I pointed out the obvious problem with your claim. Like I said before, it's wild how many people make it even though it's completely wrong and easily shown to be wrong.

Where the hell did I say ANY of that? You're just malding because you're completely wrong about your original claim.

...the historical fact that Jews originated in the Levant as the ancient Kingdom of Israel and were expelled by the Romans?

This is really beyond any doubt. It's attested in reliable historical sources and backed up by archaeology and population genetics. The ancestral Jewish homeland is there.

Jews almost universally agree that "chosen" isn't a sign of us being superior but an additional responsibility we took on. There's a lot of confusion about it but there's a really astonishing level of agreement about that principle.

least bigoted "guy who thinks the argument for a State of Israel is based on mythology"

it's wild how often I see that claim given how completely false it is.

as we all know, all innate traits are immediately apparent and easy to measure!

sexual orientation seems to be innate but kinda by definition doesn't manifest until adolescence, and plenty of people take some time to figure theirs out! doesn't mean it's a choice or changeable.

interesting and full of potential

I couldn't imagine a more perfectly poetic example of saying the quiet part out loud than "we took the freedom of speech away"

Right?
A country with a long history of hostility to Jews doesn't have many Jews in its government when it votes in favor of supporting an overseas Jewish national project? Wow.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arab_Jews

- Not Arabs, but Jews from Arab-majority countries.
- Most of them reject the term and prefer "Mizrahi" instead, especially since it includes Persian Jews etc.

You're not only insisting that "Arab Jews" are Arabs (they're not), you want to force a label on them.

I think it's significant that some of the most high-profile victims of 10/7 were peace activists, and a lot of the left in other countries readily wrote them off as either complicit by way of being Israeli or acceptable losses in a resistance movement. That's a vile slap in the face.
